Description
Product name
An interlaced wave springs, also known as coiled wave spring or scrowave spring, is a spring made up of pre-hardened flat wire in a process called on-edge coiling (edge-winding). Waves are added during this process to provide the spring effect.
Interlaced wave springs are used for applications requiring tight load-deflection specifications where axial space is critical.
Capabilities: spring thickness from 0.15 mm to 0.7 mm (0.006" to 0.0276").
Spring outside diameter range: from 12 mm to 60 mm (0.472" to 2.36").
Description
Composed of two or three wave springs of similar thickness, amplitude and frequency, wound together and interleaved so the turns of each spring are aligned along the length of the interleaved spring.
Staggering increases the effective thickness of each turn to provide higher loads while maintaining similar deformation characteristics.
Interlaced wave springs carry high loads in small axial space; deformation energy per unit volume is larger compared with some other spring types; they have good buffering and shock-absorbing ability. When combined or stacked, surface frictional resistance increases energy dissipation and shock-absorption.
Variable stiffness properties can be obtained by changing the ratio of the height of the inner truncated cone to the thickness of the disc, by combining discs with different thicknesses, or stacking discs with different numbers of sheets. Characteristic curves can be linear, increasing, decreasing or combinations thereof.
Different bearing capacities and characteristic curves are achievable by changing the number or combination of discs; this flexibility supports a wide range of uses but increases spare-parts management complexity.
Features
Precise adjustment performance: force vs. displacement relationship is very sensitive.
Good softness: relatively wide deformation range.
Relatively easy to manufacture.
Compact structure.
High energy rate.
Application (automotive examples)
Used to carry loads where compact axial space and controlled deflection are required.
Used as buffer elements to moderate shocks and absorb kinetic energy from road impacts, improving ride behavior when used with damping elements.
